Emergency Refrigerators
Being prepared for a flood,
fire, national disaster, or the loss of power from high
winds, storms, snow, or ice can help you protect the safety
of your food supply, medicines that require refrigeration or
even your your expensive wine collection. And, don't forget
keeping the beer cold. Having an emergency
refrigerator can help you keep your food safe and will help
minimize the potential loss of food and reduce the risk of
food borne illness or lack of important medications.
SunDanzer direct current (DC) refrigerators
are specifically designed for high efficiency and low energy
consumption to allow refrigeration to operate on the
smallest possible energy input from a solar energy system,
micro-turbine, wind generator, fuel cell or battery backup.
Note that you don't have
to have a renewable energy source to provide a reliable
power source. A large 12 volt marine battery (or two
or three) kept changed by a trickle charger (with charge
controller) plugged in to an AC outlet will provide a
reliable reserve of power to run a SunDanzer for several
days or more depending on the ambient temperature and the
amp-hour capacity of the batteries.
 The
new SunDanzer Model DCR50L is the smallest and most energy
efficient of the SunDanzer refrigerator models. See
more information about the new
SunDanzer Solar Refridgerator Model DCR50L Mini
Refrigerator.
The larger SunDanzer
models DCR165 and DCR225 have greater storage capacity but
also require more power to keep them running, which means
either more battery storage or a shorter time period
available for emergency backup.
See the
specifications on
the DCR165 and DCR225 here.
Your batteries can be
charged from your car or truck alternator (not the best idea
but better than not having freezer backup) or from a
generator, if you have one. Either way, these highly
energy efficient units will use much less power than your
conventional household refrigerator, which will take a load
off your generator.
